About this award
The University of Delaware was awarded a $727,793 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. This civilian contract, which commenced on January 1, 2022, supports research initiatives focused on Mexico's biodiversity and carbon dynamics. The award recognizes Mexico's status as a high-biodiversity country with approximately 40% forest coverage and the substantial growth in scientific capacity among Mexican researchers. The contract leverages state-of-the-art measurements of carbon dynamics available at representative landscapes and the national level, positioning Mexico as one of the few non-Annex I countries capable of implementing Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) initiatives. No set-aside designation was applied to this competitive award.
As a comprehensive research institution with significant federal research capabilities, the University of Delaware brings substantial expertise in environmental sciences and advanced research methodologies to this initiative. The grant supports critical research objectives aligned with international climate mitigation efforts and carbon management strategies in a megadiverse nation. The contract reflects the university's established track record of conducting sophisticated scientific research and collaborating on projects that address national and international environmental objectives across multiple federal agencies.
